'''Visuals:''' On a white background, there is a CGI block with "'''H'''" (white on {{color|red}}), "{{color|blue|'''i'''}}" ({{color|blue}} on {{color|gold|yellow}}), and "'''T'''" (white on {{color|blue}}), with "'''{{color|red|HiT entertainment}}'''" below it. Then, all of a sudden, two more of the same blocks come out from behind the main block, and they all jump around as the company name fades out. The blocks stack to reveal the "HiT" name before the two blocks (left and right) disappear. As it leaves only one block, the block looks around before becoming still as the company name fades back in below.
'''Visuals:''' On a white/{{color|lightblue|light blue}} gradient background, a CGI block is seen with "'''H'''" (white on {{color|red}}), "{{color|blue|'''i'''}}" ({{color|blue}} on {{color|gold|yellow}}), and "'''T'''" (white on {{color|blue}}) on its 3 visible sides, with "'''{{color|red|HiT entertainment}}'''" below it.

'''Trivia:''' If you were to take the audio from the original version, then take the audio from the short variant and/or one of the short versions, you would get a slightly extended version of this theme.

*The theme varies by variant. Every short variant, including the very short variant, had this theme shortened (which vary on how it was shortened). However, in two variants, the music plays as normal but there are two extra notes at the end after the normal fanfare is finished.
